Euris!
JUST KEEP ON TRYING, KEEP ON FLYING.
I WILL BE THE LIGHT.

Etude Lavie.
Today's a special day. What say we buy some Third Water?
Third Water? Can I really drink that?
Of course you can.
Mister! Half a gallon of Third Water!
Comin' right up. Sounds like you're having a feast tonight, little lady.
Yeah! It's my birthday!
In that case, I'd better give you a little extra!
Yay!
Lavie!
Claus!
Wow, look at all that smoked meat...!
You're gonna eat so much tonight you won't be able to sleep!
Claus' father is an eccentric noble who came down to this area...
...out of love for the freedom of the skies.
When Claus' family moved in next door, our fathers became best friends right away,
...eventually teaming up as Vanship pilot and navigator.
Ever since the age of 1, Claus and I grew up side by side.
My birthday is on the same day as the anniversary of the death of my mother.
My mother, who died right after giving birth to me.
The meat is just about ready.
Hold this for a second, Claus!
Huh? Hey!
Claus' mother always looked out for my father and me.
Okay, everybody ready?
Hurry, hurry!
I don't know what my mother looked like.
If my family had a camera, too, I could've had a picture of her to remember her by.
One-star mission completed!
Good work.
Here is your next mission, then.
Go to your mother and bring back two cold drinks.
It's rated two stars.
Understood, sir!
We're counting on you, Claus!
Lavie, stop goofing off.
Once you take a job, you have to see it through, no matter what.
I hate cleaning.
I want YOUR job!
Lavie!
Hey! Give it back!
- No way! - Lavie!
Immelmann Turn!
What's this?
It measures your Claudia pressure.
When you're flying, you always keep a close eye on it.
Okay. And what're these?
Those are your altitude and speed.
Ready? Let's try it one more time. The timing here is important.
Right.
Claus!
Yeah?
Now we can fly, too!
Now THAT I'd like to see.
Well, shall we go?
Yeah.
Who were they again?
That guy and girl who were always hanging around our dads...
What were their names...?
Here, this is for you.
It's a good-luck charm.
You're gonna cross the Grand Stream?
Once we deliver this letter to Disith, the war will end, and we can all be friends.
We're the only ones who can do such a big job, right?
- Yeah! - Yeah!
Take a look.
One... Two... Three...
There's TEN stars!
Oh, wow!
Claus.
Listen. One day, you're going to fly higher and farther in these blue skies than anyone else.
Yeah!
Which means that your navigator will have to be Lavie, naturally.
Yeah!
Good, that's my girl.
I know you'll be the best navi in the world.
Daddy, that hurts...
Oops, sorry, sorry.
Claus, look after your mother.
Right.
Justina.
Be careful.
Dad, come back soon!
Come back soon!
When you come back, take us up in your Vanship again, okay?
Look at that! An Immelmann Turn!
That was the last time we saw our fathers.
When we were told that our fathers were dead, the sky was so blue and high...
That boy was alone when he came to tell us the news, and then he quietly left.
That was the last time we saw him, too.
Six months later, Claus' mother died of stress, as if following her husband.
After that, we had no one.
Someday, let's cross it together.
Thank you.
Immelmann Turn!
No one is watching.
Immelmann is watching.
Where?
What're you doing?
I want to start flying right away.
Claus...
To cross the Grand Stream.
Then I'll be your navi.
Our Claudia pressure, it's-!
Lavie, are you okay?!
Yeah.
Throttle!
We're gonna fall!
Dad... We're gonna fly, too.
Claus!
Claus, hurry!
We're flying?
We did it, Claus!
We're actually flying...
Yeah.
We sold the house to save our fathers' Vanship.
We're flying...
Yeah, we sure are.
Okay...
Claus! Claus, what are you doing?!
Going up. We're going to the Grand Stream.
Claus... This is crazy!
It won't be that easy to reach our dads' level, and you know it.
Yeah...
Let's take things one step at a time.
Yeah.
So in the end, we even lost the roof over our heads.
But that didn't bother us, not even a bit.
I mean, we could fly in the sky!
We felt like we could do anything if the two of us worked together.
Hey, that one's coming in too low.
Oh, that's Valca's boy.
Well, I'll be. He's old enough to take jobs, is he?
Fly higher, Claus! Higher!
You little idiot!
Here they come! Here they come!
Now!
She snagged it?
Not bad!
Claus, I caught it!
Yeah!
Okay, ready!
Done!
Thanks!
See you later!
We're almost there, huh?
Yeah.
Me and Lavie.
Your next mission is two stars, then.
Understood, sir!
There's TEN stars!
Oh, wow...!
Job #11, danger rating: three stars! We'll take it!
Seven stars?!
It's seven stars! Have you ever seen anything like this?
It's my first time. It's pretty exciting, huh?
In any case, I don't want to die yet!
This is OUR Vanship!
Hey, I said it's a right angle!
Pretty good, Claus!
I don't want to fly in a Vanship that fights.
You see a different sky than I do now, Claus.
So I'll keep your fighting Vanship in working order.
I'll be your mechanic, Claus.
With you keeping things running, I'll be able to fly with some peace of mind.
I'm going to stay aboard the Silvana.
Claus, the truth is that I don't want to stay on the Silvana.
All I want is to fly with you in our dads' blue sky as high and as far as we can.
Claus. Go on, take a look.
Lavie.
I never knew the sky was this amazing...
Daddy, this feels great!
Daddy...
Al?
Do you recognize me? It's me, Mullin Shetland.
Um, you made that survival medal for me, remember?
Lavie...!
Where's Claus?
Uh, well...
He hasn't come back yet.
Wow...!
Those are-
Disith migration capsules.
One o'clock low. Landing tracks.
Immelmann...
Found him!
Tatiana...
Lavie, I brought you some warm soup.
Lavie?
I have to get our dads' Vanship repaired before Claus gets back.
Huh?
Like this?
Are you all right?
Let me borrow that. There's a trick to it.
Lavie! Claus is back!
Welcome back, Claus!
Lavie...
They said that our town... That Norkia's fallen.

He's a kind person, but please don't read anything into those clothes.
I just can't do it...!
I can't get that picture of Tatiana wearing Claus' overalls out of my head!
I had never imagined that I could be so weak.
You're sweet, Claus.
